Bleeding (Free verse) by Hadasl
I wake up to frost upon glass, and I shiver
cold seeping as fear to my bones
I ponder if perhaps its best to just whisper
and not awake that to which you are prone
My mother you are
when you caress me so softly
and I know that your loving is true
yet the days, few between, when you hurt me so strongly
they just shatter my heart into two
I walk through my solitude in a dry, stormy land
seeing you, here and there, by my side
yet the water you share is but poison and sand
thus engulfs all us both like the tide
Sometimes I wish you were only that monster
not my mother with her soft loving speech
for it is so much easier to hate without loving
than yearning for what I can't reach
So I fling your hesitant touch with my heart to the floor
and thus pick up the sharp, wounding slivers
so much pain, so much love, so much anguish and joy
all that's left now for me is to whisper
